The ceramics have a tendency to have to conductor degrade as it is exposed to oxidation. The contact points need cleaning and an application of conductive grease. Temperature extremes and vibration can cause the glass to separate from the ends and the cap rotate, twisting off the conductor where it is hidden by the cap. The plastic flat fuses are least likely to need replacing and all the fuse wire is visible. Local conditions will have an effect. JJ
